MINNEAPOLIS – A Texas-based conservative advocacy group, Female Athletes Unted, wants a federal judge to bar transgender girls from Minnesota high school teams. The organization filed a suit with three female-born Minnesota softball players as co-plaintiffs. Among defendants is the state’s attorney general, Keith Ellion. Last winter Ellison ruled that the Minnesota Human Rights Act allows transgender student-athletes to compete based on how they self-identify their gender. The Female Athletes Unted suit argues that trans girls are “bigger, stronger, and taller” and that allowing them into girls sports is “unsafe and unfair.”
